All-star weekend

Hey fans out there whether or not ur 4 the nuggets, I hope all-star was a lot of fun. It felt good 2 give back and see the responses that u guys gave us. We appreciate that. There was love in New Orleans, I'm proud 2 say I look at Katrina Victims as heroes. Even tho I didn't finish the game, I cheered every minute and every possession. I enjoyed watchin as fellow Jordan brandmates Smooth (Joe Johnson) and CP3 held it down.

It was great 2 be apart of the Brand Jordan donation 2 the community of Slidell. I hope all is well and I appreciated the chance 2 be there. Each experience is special and I know the importance of youth recs and boys and girls clubs around the world. If it wasn't 4 them, the NBA as it is and generations of all-stars 2 come will be victims not only of katrina but 2 the streets. Here are some pictures of some of the work I did down there with NBA Cares. Much love 2 New Orleans. I know it is tough but the climb and spirit is remarkable. How bout the all-star M4's wow, u only got a brief look but what u did see u must say, they were right.

Now back 2 the whole purpose of all-stars -- well, at least me, my team. We are here and 2 win so let's kick it into high gear. I need the fans out of their seats making noise every possession appreciating what we r giving every night on the court, and us giving our efforts, feeding off that electricity that built the game. To my family, friends, colleagues, fans, sponsors, and Hood Movement. That's my crew Holding Our Own Destiny that goes 4 Katrina Victims, and each and every other city that is struggling we feel u. Keep look out cuz if every one stops 2 think and put down the guns, violence, and hate, we can control our destiny. So even tho Hood Movement is me, Draper, TY, Munch, and Kenny, it is also u bcuz u control the destiny of urself, and our children are the future.

Its a movement as is the nuggets. Stay tuned.

me and a.i. hard at work

I BET KIAN IS GOOD LOOKING LIKE DADDY!!

YEA!! may birthdays... may 5

We will cheer you on from our couch tonight against the Celtics, GO NUGGETS, we love you from the Navajo Nation and enjoying all the games - we are basketball freaks out here!!

Good luck melo! You guys probably have the toughest schedule in March, if you can go into March with pace then you can beat the spurs twice, the lakers and all the potential playoff teams. We are last in the three way tiebreaker, we need to make some noise! I'll See you in Chicago!!!!!

congrats on your 18 pts. and coach scott should have played u the last quarter, the west would have won if u played. but oh well...mvp of next yrs. game and nba finals mvp!!

We definitely appreciate all of it, Melo. What you stand for, caring about the community is so important. All your efforts are important. The game is a celebration of all of that.
And when you find yourself on the other end of those 30 games, you're going to be where you are because you did all you can do. Go do it, man!

Cant believe people still cant drink water out of the tap. A friend was working a booth at the arena, traveled from here in the East Bay, and found out the hard way his second day there. Upset stomach andd all, from drinking water from the faucet.

Good Job Melo - We appreciate the way you have grown up in the org and hope that your committment to the Nuggs will be for your whole career. BTW did you notice that the Mav's cut Nick Fazekas to do the trade, I know that most of the guys on the team were not looking forward to a trade that would disrupt the current chemistry - but Nick Fazekas is a very hard working local product who would not cost anything - something to think about

NiCE!!!

Keep up the good work Melo!

Great game sunday Melo

hey..great game w/ the BOSTON Celtics!! you had one hell of a game man!

nice job on the bongos... that was pretty funny.

Greg Oden Baby! Great game last night melo! Even though the refs were BS'n our boy K-Mart! Rest up for the Bulls! Your B More Commercial is awesome!

Hey Melo, great job last night!...awesome win...its a BIG "W" against the best team as of now.....you did all the right things out there.....the team helped out to....AI, K-Mart, Camby as always...and JR and Kleiza and Dr, AC.....take a good rest man....we need to rack up as many wins as we can.......
I wished you played more in All-Star but you did good at ur given time.....wanted to see some lob pass from AI to you....may be next year.....
Cheers......

2 say I was surprised 2 see that U helped out n New Orleans would b n every since of the word incorrect cause that's just U doing what Melo does. About the All-Star game....n this case it was not how U finished the game........it was how U started. (smile) The win vs the Celts was the best ever. Now that game is behind us and honestly that is the 1 I was regretting above all the others... there should b confidence and there is certainly proof that U Nugs can not only compete with the best of em.......U can defeat the best of em. I think maybe if every1 goes n2 every game as if U r playing Boston we can win the next 20 games. Speaking of the next 20 bout time 2 go on a streak. What U think?
U r still playing Melo basketball and that is really a good thing and still awesome 2 see but Melo honestly, do U really think yall need RON ARTEST......for real. Nothing....... I know (with regrets) has anything 2 do with me except the fact that I am a "Serious" fan but I do luv being a Nuggets fan, and I adore being a "Melo" fan but an Artest fan....... and with the Denver Nuggets.........not happening. We've been through 2 much 2gether 2 add Ron Artest 2 the mix right now. If U could maybe persuade them 2 get Mike Miller, that would b good. I grow real tired of hearing commentators putting any and every1 above the Nuggets and saying they don't play enough defense 2 win games or get 2 the finals. I know U believe n your team and most importantly, U believe n yourself.....now is the time for every1 else 2 see the Denver Nuggets take that next step. And now that U have that confidence and the team has that confidence "We Believe" starting now..........the real Denver Nuggets will.........."STAND UP"
Keep it all 2gether......Until later........I'm tuned...
Lots of Luv

Fooooooooooooooook AllStar Weekend
HOW BOUT THEM DAMN CELTICS????????????????????
I was at that game Melo and talk about a good ass game and crowd. Huge crowd of both Nugget and Celtic fans at the Pepsi Center. So made for a even better night of rumbling on the court as well as in the stands. Mad props to ya'll for beatin them and doing it at home. If ya'll can finish out the rest of the season into the play offs like that that would be the shit!!
Stay up Melo!!
D.

Oh yea..... and good shootin during East/West game Melo. A.I. look like he wasn't really into it that much though.

D.

It really upset me when I didn't see u and AI on the court in the 4th quarter.
It upset me even further when I saw LBJ got the MVP trophy.
And the next day,what upset me most was that it seemed ur blog had gone through some technical problem and it couldn't be logged on.THANK GOD IT'S FIXED FINALLY.
Btw,I like ur opening,it's cool~!
Big win VS Celtics!ur doing such a great job!

keep PLAYING as well as u do

the fans will love all that TRUST ME well see ya


directly form my heart byeeee

I was really discouraged to see you and A.I. get benched like that. I thought you could of replaced Boozer, because you were definently an MVP canidate. Well you know whatever conference wins the all-star game usually win the title. But that's just statistics. You and A.I. need to go out their and win it. My people and I will be waitin'. Just play hard and go inside as much as possible. O'Yeah Camby made 2 or three 3's this year, but he betta stop that. I go crazy when he shoot the outside shot.

You guys made the right move. Why do all these teams think they need to get better? Ha ha. Keep the pressure on, Melo. Nene and Chucky are right around the corner. Hard work and patience. Earn your way.

You coming to bonnaroo MC? You know your girl has the hook up on bonnaroo. Laugh at Ric Bucher for me next time you see him. He's doing a better job now that he's off his high horse and back in the game. One love, rastafari. rrrrrings.....

My children and I love you very much. I never miss a game on TV. We can't afford posters, jerseys, or none of that, but that doesn't stop us from watching you do your thang... Much love to you from the Northwest... Nicole, Matthew, and Malik (Matthew is 5'2 and 11 years old his dream is to play a game with you one on one) ... My dream is just one day being able to see you play in any arena and I know God is good and one day we will get that chance. God bless you take care of yourself and yoru team-mates. nrs_johnson@yahoo.com

Yeah,the world needs love..We have to us love get over problems..You guys do really well and give great influence for us,teenageres..Thanks a lot..And we will follow you...
How I wish I could stand in the Pepsi Center and shout out loud for you...I know you love it..But as for now,it's a dream..I'm far far far away from you,but it's lucky to write these to you..
You did really well on ALL STAR game..You are still a new guy in ALL STAR game so I'm sure you could do better in the future..
Back to love and care...This year's beginning was really hard for China..Beacuase of the snow,the ice the bad bad wether..It brought calamity to people here..But we get over it together,with love..People donate money,clothes and many to those people..And now, everything is going to normal..Just like you did in New Orleans, we need love, love can change everything..
Ah..The ALL STAR game was over..And we have to face games...I'm sure Nuggets can make miracles..And Melo,I'm looking forward...
Deepest love from China,
Fly

mello u did yo thing in da all star game you are my favriote player in the NBAa

Carmelo -- good work in the all-star game, now it's on to the real work at hand.
Don't be discouraged about a lack of a big trade. There's no reason a team with you, AI and Camby shouldn't be able to make this team elite. You have enough great pieces. After all, you did handle Boston the other night. Show faith and confidence in your current teammates, just as they do to you. We're behind you. Go Nuggs! One more thing... can't thank you enough for taking a moment to sign my toddler's jersey after the preseason game in Boulder. Made our weekend! Thanks for taking the time to give back!

The Chicago game was crap. Sorry, but the defensive effort was non-existent. Man, you don't need Ron Artest to hold the Bulls to 110 points. You just need effort and teamwork. Glimpses of effort won't get it done. If ANY of your teammates goes off for 40 points, support them and play defense.

melo, yeah that was such a dissapoitning loss. u guys r SOO good, that with like 3 minutes, u guys cut it down to 4. but once its four, u guys shudve REALI tightened up D. but yeah, hang in there, 1.5 games behind utah, needa get that 4th seed

Melo, you were terrific!!!
If the Western Conference had won, you would have gotten the MVP trophy!
You visited Korea to take park in WBC2006, and played match with Korean players.
I wanted to go to the stadium to watch the game, but the tickets costed too much!!!
So I saw you on TV and cheered for you. :-)
I wish I could visit the America and watch your games.

you guys just lost your game at Milwaukee...I gotta say..that's really hard.and IT IS A SHAME!!!
Now i dont care if you could roll in the playoff,but,please,dont Loss your games when agaisting Houston Rockets!Coz i a big fan of A&I's game,and i m Chinese.i dont wanna see you guys to loss the games when agaisting the team which has Yao Ming or YI JianLian.
coz when you loss,my Chinese friends would insult me with that.
So,please kick the Rockets out on March 2nd N April 13th.
Keep Fighting!
In Nuggets we believe!

How can us fans make noise when the Nuggets keep losing. It doesn't matter if we are silent or crunk, we are gonna lose.

Because you need to pass, stop traveling, and play defense.

We aren't and shouldn't be playoff contenders. I'm a 100% nuggets fan and it pisses me off to see we let a good team go to waste.

Appreciate what u did for New Orleans, cuz i live in Louisiana, but f--- all that, we need to be serious. We are the laughing stock of the NBA. We are the West Coast New York Knicks.

We have some players on the Nuggets who need to GROW UP. AND STOP THINKING THEY ARE SUPER HEROS WHEN THEY GET THE BALL. Aka you, Kenyon, and J.R.... You guys can't dunk on everybody, and you all three contribute alot of turnovers.

Jesus, sometimes I ask myself why am I a devout 100% Nuggets fan when you guys continue to let us down. We don't deserve 2 be in the playoffs. Fact is, we don't give a damn.

We are the team that gives players career-highs and the Lakers toy with us.

We struggle against weak squads from the East.

Can you say, R-E-B-U-I-L-D????

We might get swacked by the Heat if we played them again.

That last one was harsh.....but you know, you got to be able to take that. Lot of fans right now want to give up on watching this team because the highs are way high and the lows are just right out sad. - - Momentum-killers, don't let the refs kill your momentum, and the more bizarre the call, the more you need to ignore it, because it's just going to slow your momentum are you're going to give up 4 more points in a row. That's 6 points the other way. You might have a nice jumper or a nice dunk, but the other team just got a 6 point play off a ref distraction. You a professional. Focus on the game and let the refs live in whatever world they are livin' in, you live in yours and your teammates -- and at the end of games let us fans see that despite momentum slowing calls you kept your head and YOU didn't slow down.

hey Melo, me and some of my friends were syaing that it'd be cool to see what you looked like without corn rows.. i think you should take them out for the March 2nd game against Houston.

haha maybe

yea man...i wonder wat u wud look lyk without cornrows...u gotta try it at least once! LoL. =]

Melo, n the previous comments it is really not that the fans r angry it is more-so disappointment. It really is disheartening when U r a devoted fan and watch the kind of play that is sometimes put up by your team. As is with teams like the Heat and the Bucks...their fans know they don't have a chance 2 make the playoffs and yet they can appreciate the way they continue 2 play as if they r contenders. When U defeat a team like the Celtics 1 nite and 2 nites later is defeated by 2 teams who r nowhere near the playoffs, it is really frustrating. This year at times it has appeared that no1 n the Nuggets organization from the front office 2 the coaching staff 2 the team itself is just not committed 2 winning. That trade "drama stuff" is over and it is time 2 move forward and 2 b adult enough and professional enough 2 move on with who and what we have (see KB24/Lakers......even b4 Pau). The Nuggets r a team who should and did defeat teams like the Celtics and even the Pistons. What do they have right now that we don't.....the focus....the desire......the heart......maybe? I think its time every1 involved with and n the Nuggets organization realize that its not just about the Nuggets......its about the fans 2. We probably get the short end of losses more-so than any1 else. "From worst 2 first".....sound familiar? (Syracuse 2003). Its not that we r actually the worst team n the West right now but as far as playoff contention....we r because we r #9.
I am not trying 2 b a critic or anything but U remember when U said on the Kimmel show that while U were suspended U had time 2 sit back and see what we actually see as fans watching the games and U could appreciate what we felt....that's kinda how it is now. I just can't see a complete and total effort right now...not the kind of effort a team trying 2 make the playoffs would give. If U have 2 score 50...score 50 if U have 2 (as a captain) call the team 2gether and tell them that every1 need 2 get 2gether on the same page.....do whatever it takes 2 b that team that all your fans know the Nuggets r capable of being. We r not your enemies/opposition....we r all n this 2gether.......we just want our team 2 win....2 b contenders....2 b the Nuggets that our roster show that we r. Is that asking 2 much?
And why is Marcus taking 3 pointers.... what is going on with that?
U Melo, knows better than probably any1 on that team except T.G. (Gators), what it takes and what it feels like 2 win a championship. We as fans celebrated that with U then and we want 2 do the same now that U r n the NBA. By the way did U know Beasley broke your Freshman double-double record?
Nevertheless Melo I love seeing U and the Nuggets win and get the credit U deserve but right now U're getting none and that's not a good thing. I am always tuned n and with U (and the Nuggets) and that's why I stay connected with all that's going on and what's going on at this moment is not what and where we need 2 b.2nite is as good a time as any 2 start 2 prove first 2 yourselves that the Nuggets r true contenders and every1 else will see for themselves.
Everything is n your favor....now the only thing U have 2 do is........make it happen.
Lots of Luv

Hi yard barkers
What it do Melo. I was thinking about you prediction and comparison to the super Bowl champs and I must say it was brave of you to make that statement before the super bowl but you were right. I am really enjoying the return of JR Smith he is doing well encourage him. Tell AI for me I never got a Chance to thank him when he was In Philly he got me and my brothers some tickets It was great, and to meet in back court after the game I wont ever forget that. Now with that out of the way let me say nice pic with you and the kids any opportunity to give back fills ones heart soul and mind big up to the NBA. I'm all for gold in Denver and I still feel that the Nuggets can get it done. Lets say breakout and blowout rest of the season think about that breakout and blowout one.
